By William Boyle

Book Overview

""The Eloquent Dempsey"" is a comedic play written by William Boyle and originally published in 1907. The story follows the titular character, Dempsey, a charismatic Irishman who has a way with words and a talent for storytelling. When he arrives in a small town, he quickly becomes the center of attention and begins to spin elaborate tales about his past and his adventures. However, as his stories become more outlandish and his behavior more erratic, the townspeople begin to question whether he is really who he says he is. Along the way, there are misunderstandings, romantic entanglements, and plenty of laughs. With its lively characters and witty dialogue, ""The Eloquent Dempsey"" is a delightful example of early 20th-century comedic theater.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
